The Road King Tire Company tested samples of 100 tires each day for 20 days to monitor quality. The number of defective tires ranged from 7 to 24 tires per sample. A p-chart was constructed using the proportion of defective tires from each sample with upper and lower control limits calculated at 2 standard deviations from the overall proportion of 0.1535 defective tires. The p-chart showed that some sample points fell outside the control limits, indicating the tire production process was out of control.

Assignment # 2
Module 2 Evaluation
1. The Road King Tire Company in Birmingham wants to monitor
the quality of the tires it manufactures in its production process.
Each day the quality control manager takes a sample of 100
tires, tests them, and determines the number of defective tires.
The results of 20 samples have been recorded as follows:
Sample Number of Defectives
1 14
2 12
3 9
4 10
5 11
6 7
7 8
8 14
9 16
10 17
11 18
12 10
13 19
14 20
15 17
16 18
17 18
18 22
19 24
20 23

Construct a p-Chart for the process using a 2σ limits, and describe


the variation in the process.
SOLUTIONS:

Sample Number of Defectives Proportion


1 14 0.14
2 12 0.12
3 9 0.09
4 10 0.10
5 11 0.11
6 7 0.07
7 8 0.08
8 14 0.14
9 16 0.16
10 17 0.17
11 18 0.18
12 10 0.10
13 19 0.19
14 20 0.20
15 17 0.17
16 18 0.18
17 18 0.18
18 22 0.22
19 24 0.24
20 23 0.23
Total Defectives: 307
ρ = total defective / total number of observation

= 307 / 20 (100)
= 307 / 2000

= 0.1535

√
UCL = ρ+z

√
= 0.1535 + 2

√
= 0.1535 + 2

= 0.1535 + 2 √
= 0.1535 + 2 (0.0360)
= 0.1535 + 0.072

= 0.2255

√
LCL = ρ-z

√
= 0.1535 - 2

√
= 0.1535 - 2

= 0.1535 - 2 √
= 0.1535 - 2 (0.0360)
= 0.1535 - 0.072

= 0.0815
ρ-chart
0.3000
0.2800
0.2600
0.2400 UCL = 0.2255
0.2200
0.2000
0.1800
0.1600 ρ = 0.1535
0.1400
0.1200
0.1000
LCL = 0.0815
0.0800
0.0600
0.0400
0.0200
0.0000
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Therefore, the process is out of control because there are sample points outside
the control limit for UCL and LCL.
